Tagged resource: invalid down cast

[clair_augsburgerZGWRZ]

[ FlexSim 23.0.9 ]

In the Tagged Resource pickoption, the Team parameter can be used to reference a dispatcher:

However this throws an exception:

FlexScript exception: Invalid down cast. Object is not an instance of the target type. at MODEL:/Queue1>variables/transportdispatcher

See attached example: Tagged resource invalid down cast.fsm.

Under the hood, the code uses the TaskExecuter class, but the dispatcher is not an instance of that class.

Could you please fix that bug ?

I've been able to duplicate it in every version of Flexsim I've tried! I'll send it to dev as a bug

Thanks @Julie Weller. My colleague @Allister Wilson already reported the same bug by email to dev@flexsim.com in May 2021. @Jordan Johnson could you please increase the priority of fixing this bug ?

Will do!

@Jordan Johnson when is this bug going to be fixed ?

Once again a user reported to me yesterday that he tried to use the Tagged Resource pickoption but it still throws the same exception as reported by Allister in May 2021 to dev@flexsim.com, and as reported once again in the post above in July 2023.

I tried in 24.0.2 and even in 24.1.0 beta released yesterday, it still throws the same exception.

I have increased the priority of this card once again.
